Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH97/00079 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 1, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 1, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/33080 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1997The invention relates to a spark ignition engine (1) having a pressure-wave supercharger (5) and a three-way catalyst (4). To remove the pollutant constituents HC, CO and NOx in an efficient manner, an oxidation catalyst (12) is connected downstream of the three-way catalyst, said oxidation catalyst being arranged between the outlet of the supercharger and the exhaust (11). The oxidation catalyst can, consequently, function with excess air which comes from the supercharger. The above combination reduces pollutants substantially with a high specific output of the engine.

Abstract: A cam-in DIMM card connector comprises camming protrusions (60) provided on flexible side walls that rotationally guide a board (16) into latching engagement with the connector. In the fully latched position the board is levered firmly between a top corner (72) and opposing side wall (34) of the board receiving slot (6) in order to straighten any warping in the board. Greater dimensional tolerance can therefore be supported by the connector.

Abstract: A natural gas reformer comprising a stack of thermally conducting plates interspersed with catalyst plates and provided with internal or external manifolds for reactants. The catalyst plate is in intimate thermal contact with the conducting plates so that its temperature closely tracks the temperature of the thermally conducting plate, which can be designed to attain a near isothermal state in-plane to the plate. One or more catalysts may be used, distributed along the flow direction, in-plane to the thermally conducting plate, in a variety of optional embodiments. The reformer may be operated as a steam reformer or as a partial oxidation reformer. When operated as a steam reformer, thermal energy for the (endothermic) steam reforming reaction is provided externally by radiation and/or conduction to the thermally conducting plates. This produces carbon monoxide, hydrogen, steam and carbon dioxide. When operated as a partial oxidation reformer, a fraction of the natural gas is oxidized assisted by the presence of a combustion catalyst and reforming catalyst. This produces carbon monoxide, hydrogen, steam and carbon dioxide. Because of the intimate thermal contact between the catalyst plate and the conducting plates, no excessive temperature can develop within the stack assembly. Details of the plate design may be varied to accommodate a variety of manifolding embodiments providing one or more inlets and exit ports for introducing, pre-heating and exhaust the reactants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of and an arrangement for damping a wall movement. In the invention, the strength of an electric field between a surface of a wall and an air-permeable mass plate parallel with the surface is controlled to provide a force opposite to the wall-moving force. A sound wave, for instance, may cause a force moving a wall back and forth, which force is cancelled by the opposite force by means of the method and arrangement of the invention, whereby the movement applied to the wall by the sound wave can be stopped.

Abstract: A low or no pollution engine is provided for delivering power for vehicles or other power applications. The engine has an air inlet which collects air from a surrounding environment. The air is compressed through multiple stages of compression with intercoolers between the compressors. The air is then purged of any constituents which have a relatively high freezing point in a scrubber and then expanded in a turboexpander which causes the air to be cooled down to near air liquifaction temperatures. The air is then passed through a rectifier, where nitrogen is removed from the air. The remaining air is substantially entirely oxygen, which is then compressed and routed to a gas generator. The gas generator has an igniter and inputs for the high pressure oxygen and a high pressure hydrogen containing fuel, such as hydrogen or methane. The fuel and oxygen are combusted within the gas generator, forming water and possibly carbon dioxide. Water is also delivered into the gas generator to control a temperature of the combustion products. The combustion products are then expanded through a power generating device, such as a turbine or piston expander to deliver output power for operation of a vehicle or other power uses. The combustion products, steam and carbon dioxide, are then passed through a condenser where the steam is condensed and the carbon dioxide is collected or discharged. A portion of the water is discharged into the surrounding environment and the remainder is routed back to the gas generator.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for cleaning poultry carcasses having a cavity. A plurality of cleaning heads are spaced about a sprayer carousel that is rotatably mounted upon a vertical shaft. The cleaning heads are mounted upon a plurality of vertically oriented guide rails which are spaced about the sprayer carousel. A circumferential cam is fixedly connected to the vertical shaft inside the sprayer carousel. A cam follower connected to each cleaning head follows the profile of the cam, displacing the cleaning head vertically along the guide rails. A conveyor transports the carcasses sequentially into and out of engagement with the sprayer carousel and an indexing member maintains each of the carcasses in alignment with one of the cleaning heads. In response to relative movement between the fixed cam and the rotatable sprayer carousel the cam follower of each cleaning head follows the circumferential profile of the cam. In this way each cleaning head is inserted into the internal cavity of the carcass where the probe is maintained for a dwell period before being withdrawn from the internal cavity.

Abstract: In the front end of a CDMA cellular or broadband PCS mobile phone receiver, a switched bypass connection is provided to bypass the low noise amplifier, sending the received signal through an amplifier bypass connection. The amplifier bypass connection may include an attenuator. The switched bypass is activated by a control signal generated by a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor analyzes the received signal to detect and determine the relative contribution of the IMD interference to the total received signal power and, when the IMD interference exceeds a predetermined level, sends a control signal to bypass the low noise amplifier. Identification of the presence of IMD interference is by spectral estimation to discern when the mobile phone is in the presence of large near-band signals from an AMPS or other narrow-band base station which causes in- band IMD. In a preferred embodiment, the spectral estimation is performed by collecting a series of data samples from the received signal and, using a digital signal processor (DSP), computing a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to generate frequency domain data, passing the data through a filter bank, then using a decision algorithm to determine whether or not there is sufficient IMD present in the received signal to bypass the LNA. If the IMD level is high enough to warrant bypass of the LNA, the DSP will provide a signal to an automatic gain control (AGC) block for controlling a variable gain amplifier (VGA) to compensate for gain loss due to bypass of the LNA. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil améliorant le temps de réponse de l'abonné lors de transferts entre cellules ou de changements de fréquence radio dans un environnement mobile utilisant un protocole de gestion des transmissions/protocole Internet (TCP/IP). L'environnement mobile comporte au moins une station mobile terminale (20), une station mobile de base (22), un service intermédiaire mobile (30) de transmission de données (SIMTD) et une station terminale fixe (40). Le SIMTD (30) garde la trace de la station mobile terminale (20) évoluant dans l'environnement mobile et peut ainsi distinguer entre les retards dus à la congestion du réseau et les retards dus aux transferts entre cellules. De plus, la station mobile de base (22) informe le SIMTD (30) de toute modification du signal R.F., ce qui lui permet de reconnaître les retards dus auxdites modifications. Cette capacité d'identification de la cause des retards permet au SIMTD (30) de lancer ou d'arrêter un processus de gestion des congestions et de reprise.
